man
adduser.conf : a typo and some missing info
* must options in adduser.conf be one option per line ?
* "The file /etc/adduser.conf contains defaults for the programs =20
adduser(8),
addgroup(8), deluser(8) and delgroup(8).
Each option takes form <option> =3D <value>."
should that be:
"each default is specified in form <option> =3D
<value>" ?
* are spaces mandatory in ''<option =3D <value>'' ?
can i use any number of spaces and tabs ?
* "Comment lines must have a pound sign (#) in first line."
Name of sign shown in braces is hash, not pound.
* "specify an inclusive range of dynamically allocated normal user =20
UIDs"
maybe refrase as :
"specify an inclusive range of UIDs from which normal user''s
UIDs =20
can be
dynamically allocated" ?
(same thing is used 3 lines furtheron for system users)
I dont know whether this is a bug :
i have file /etc/adduser.conf on my system,
but dpkg -S /etc/adduser.conf can not find it,
and dpkg -L adduser doesn''t list it, though it lists /etc/=20
deluser.conf
